Dermatology physician assistants and nurse practitioners have experienced
great growth in the last years, mainly due to the discrepance between patient demand for skin care services and a
reduced number in residency-trained dermatologists. .
Most of dermatology PAs work in medical dermatology offices, evaluating and treating common skin disorders such as acne, rosacea, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, psoriasis, and warts.
After the initial training is complete, PAs will often see patients and present cases to the supervising physician for discussion diagnostic and treatment.
